[2] He later founded with his other brother Anton Giulio the Casa d'arte Bragaglia, which quickly became a popular attraction for Rome artists, and an independent theater, "Teatro Sperimentale degli Indipendenti" (1923-1936).

[2] After directing a few documentaries, in 1932 Bragaglia made his feature film debut with Your Money or Your Life, based on a radio play by Alessandro De Stefani.

[2][3] The film was greatly inspired by René Clair,[2][3] while his lead actor Sergio Tofano basically reprised his comic strip character Signor Bonaventura.

[2] Following the moderate success of the film, Bragaglia specialized in the Telefoni Bianchi genre, with a few exceptions like the realist dramas Tomb of the Angels and The Prisoner of Santa Cruz and the surreal Totò comedy Mad Animals.

Being that he lived well into his second century Bragaglia became known as a famed storyteller who provided a wealth of information and anecdotes concerning the early days of Italian cinema.
